Oh, that's scary. I was thinking the same thing before I read your post. Fictional friends are the best, they never go behind your back, but it is a bit odd to have a conversation with them in public!

I read the first three and the humor is good, but the storyline goes a bit slow. I still like the author, he did a reading here and came out and told the audience that Lemoney Snicket was stuck in traffic and couldnt make it to the reading--even though it was him. And the movie looks really really good!
